PREFATORY. 



I have the pleasure of presenting to my patrons and 
the public the first issue of Thompson's Hotel Direc- 
tory and Travelers' Guide. 

It was commenced about six; months ago, and has been 
pushed forward as rapidly as the magnitude of the un- 
dertaking would permit. No one who is not familiar 
with similar works can conceive of the amount of labor 
and the great expense attached to such a publication. 

The plan and arrangement is entirely original, and it 
is to-day the only work of its kind. In compiling it, great 
care has been taken to make it as plain as possible, so 
that the information it contains can be seen at a glance, 
and be easily referred to. 

My long experience as a publisher and past success has 
enabled me to present such a valuable book, and I trust 
that it will meet with the approval and success it justly 
merits. I thank my many patrons for the great encour- 
agement given me, and trust the work will meet with 
your approval. 

Finally, I call special notice to the Advertising Di- 
rectory and Buyer's Guide '' department," where are 
represented many of the largest manufacturers and busi- 
ness firms in the United States. 

The Publisher.

ire Sauce. 



Mannf red and Bottled in England. 

In England there are many brands 
of Worcestershire Sauce, and none 
stand higher than Mac TJrquarht's, 
as it it one of the oldest and best 
known Sauces throughout England 
and her Colonies. It is pronounced 
by connoisseurs superior in every 
respect to any Sauce offered, and is 
rapidly usurping the market in the 
United States. 

The following certificate from one 
of the best known English Chem- 
ists sufficiently proves that it is per- 
fectly pure and wholesome : 

''The condiment's and materials 
used in Messrs. Mac Urquarht 
& Co.'s Worcestershire Sause are 
perfectly pure and of exceptional 
quality, and the sauce is entirely 
free from mineral or other noxious 
ingredients." 

"Benj. '.nickels, F.C.S., F.I.C., 

"Analytical and Technical Chemist, 
London, England." 

From a comparison of the prices MAC TJRQUARHT'S is some 20 
per cent, cheaper than Lee & Perrin's. 

Leading Hotels and Restaurants in New York City — a class of 
trade that always demand the best of everything — now use Mac Ur- 
quarht's Sauce. Why can't you ? 

We invite a trial order from the trade generally.

0*° H E charming climate of Long Beach, its cool breezes, the absence 
%£* of mosquitoes and the ordinary plagues of summer watering 
places, its easy accessibility to New York, and the class of people 
that has already contributed to its character— all these have estab- 
lished it as the 

First of all Resorts on the Atlantic Coast. 

The natural conditions, the toppgraphy of the Beach and the tidal 
flow, has made the location without a rival in a sanitary point of view. 
The climate is a specific for hay fever, and for all such stubborn 
ailments. 

It is now conceded that there is no such bathing beach anywhere

^Fh§u3aRd Island H§u3e, 

^ ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y, 3^ 



The Thousand Island House is situated at Alexandria Bay, 
directly on the famous and historic river St. Lawrence — its scenery is 
absolutely unequaled. It has become a well-noted fact that there is 
actually no other region of resort in America combining so many at- 
tractive elements in Summer-time as the grand archipelago called the 
Thousand Islands, and drawing the line still closer, there is no other 
place having so many attractions, all points considered, as the Thou- 
sand Island House. 

The grand and changeless St. Lawrence presents some features 
which are unique. Being the outflow of the great inland seas, its 
water is always perfectly pure. It is never subject to floods, and it 
has been noted by observant visitors that in midsummer among the 
Islands, and within a mile or so of the river, there is no dew at night 
(the fact is explained in the same manner as the existence of the well- 
known thermal belt along Niagara River). Malaria and hay fever 
unknown here. 

The prevailing winds during the summer season sweep down, 
purified by their passage over the resinous Canadian forests, and over 
the wide expanse of the lake, reaching the nostrils of the fortunate 
guests — dry, bracing and cool ; thus with its fresh and exhilarating 
atmosphere, the s alubrity of the climate, the superb quality of its 
scenery, its attractions for angling and fishing, with boats of all kinds 
for those who desire combined with the sumptuous accommodations 
ot the Thousand Island House, make it the most delightful inland 
resort in the northern regions of New York. 

In fitting this house to suit the best custom of the country, 
especial regard for the comfort of families has been considered, and in 
its refitting, furnishing and all its details, it will be first-class. 

A general reduction in prices for the»coming season, especially 
during the months of June and September.

General Sibley brought 2,500 prisoners to Mankato for 
military trial. Of these, 303 were sentenced to death.

examination of all the testimony, ordered the sentence to 
be carried out only in such instances as murder, aggrava- 
ted by outrages on white women and children. In pur- 
suance of this order, 37 of the condemed were hanged. 
The execution took place December 19th, 1862, on a long

by the savages, was executioner. Mankato has at pres-

NEW YOEK CITY, N. Y. The chief city of the 
United States and the Western Continent, is located at 
the mouth of the Hudson Eiver, in the southern part of 
the State of New York. The City Hall is in latitude 40° 
42' 43 // N., longitude 74° '3" W., and the city occupies 
the county of the same name. It covers the whole of 
Manhattan Island and a portion of the mainland, and is 
bounded on the south by New York Bay ; on the west by 
the Hudson or North Eiver ; on the north by the city of 
Yonkers and Westchester County, N. Y. ; on the east by 
the river Bronx, that separates it from Westchester 
County, and the East Eiver, a narrow, salt-water strait, 
dividing it from Long Island. It also includes Randall's, 
Ward's and Blackwell's Islands, in the East River ; and 
Governor's Island, occupied by the U. S. Government ; 
Bedloe's and Ellis' Islands, in the Bay. Spuyten Duyvil 
Creek and Harlem River divide the city into two unequal 
portions, and make the northern boundary of Manhattan 
Island. The city is 16 miles long, and varies in width 
from a few hundred yards to 4-j miles at the north part. 
Its area is about 4H square miles, or 26,500 acres, of 
which 12,100 are on the mainland. Its location is both 
beautiful, healthful, and advantageous in a commercial 
sense. Its commodious bay, the Hudson River, the neigh- 
boring sea, and the diversified country about it, contri-

bute to its attractiveness, while its varied surface and ex- 
tensive water front conduce to its general healthfullness. 
Its harbor gives ample and safe anchorage for large fleets, 
and opens directly upon the Atlantic. Its position in 
the center of the northern part of the coast makes it a na- 
tural entrepot for the Middle States; and the Hudson 
River, navigable for nearly 150 miles, places it in easy 
communication with the interior. The Erie Canal and sev- 
eral lines of railroads place the city in reach of the Great 
West, and on the east, New England almost joins the city. 
The State and City of New Jersey fringe the opposite 
bank of the Hudson, and along the East River the City 
of Brooklyn and its neighboring towns form a continuous 
city upon its eastern side. From the Battery, at the 
southern end of Manhattan Island, the view of the Bay, 
the Islands, Brooklyn Heights, Staten Island, the Jersey 
shore, Jersey City, and the entrance to the Hudson, pre- 
sents one of the most animated and beautiful pictures to 
be found. The upper part of the city lies opposite the 
Palisades, and is remarkable for its rural and picturesque 
scenery. Its topography is at once favorable for business 
purposes and good drainage. The lower part of Man- 
hattan Island, from the Battery north for about 3 j miles, 
is rolling and sandy in character. It then rises slightly 
and becomes very rocky. At Central Park, near the cen- 
ter of the city, it rises into broken hills ; and northward, 
along the river the land rises to a height of 238 feet at 
Washington Heights. Above the Island, the land is hilly 
and rough, with a great variety of scenery. The lower 
part of the city has been much altered by filling and 
grading, and the original width has been materially in- 
creased by filling in the rivers on both sides. The city

is compactly built up to the Harlem River, on the east of 
Central Park. This location is sometimes known as 
Harlem and Yorkville, being the sites of those villages. 
North of Harlem River are Mott Haven, Morrisania, 
West Farms, North New York, Port Morris, Woodstock, 
Highbridgeville, Claremont, Tremont, Mount Hope, 
Mount Eden, Fairmount, Belmont, Fordham, and Wil- 
liamsbridge. West of Central Park the population cen- 
ters in the villages of Bloomingdale and Manhattanville. 
North of these, along the Hudson, are Washington 
Heights, Inwood, Kingsbridge, Spuyten Duyvil, Mosh- 
olu, Riverdale, and Mount St. Vincent. All of these 
places are now included in New York City. The ways of 
approach to New York are numerous, since it is in com- 
munication with all parts of the globe, either by sea or 
railroad. From the sea it is approached from the south 
by Sandy Hook through the Narrows, between Long 
Island on the east, and Staten Island on the west, iuto 
New York Bay, passing the great fortresses of Fort 
Tompkins and Fort Richmond on the west, or Staten 
Island shore and Fort Hamilton on the east, or Long 
Island shore, while old Fort Lafayette, of the "Great 
Rebellion " celebrity, stands in the bay, a short distance 
from the shore. At the confluence of the East and Hud- 
son Rivers is Governor's Island, distinguished by the 
circular fortress on its northern shore. The Hamburg 
and German lines of steamers land their passengers at 
Hoboken ; while the Cunard, Inman, White Star, Anchor, 
National and French lines discharge theirs at different 
piers on the Hudson River, or west side of the city. 
There is another channel of approach from the sea 
through the Kills, between Staten Island, on the New

Jersey shore, connecting Raritan Bay with New York 
Harbor — but only vessels of light draught can approach 
by this route. Steamers and vessels approaching from 
Long Island Sound pass through Hell Gate and discharge 
cargoes on both the East River and North River piers. 
The Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, and other steam- 
boats from nearer ports, land at East River piers — at Peck 
slip and vicinity ; while the Fall River, Stonington, Pro- 
vidence, Norwich and New London, and Boston outside 
x.lines, pass round the Battery and discharge at North or 
Hudson River piers. The Hudsori River steamboats all 
discharge on the west, or North River side of the city. 
Passengers via New York and New Haven, Harlem, New 
York Central and Hudson River Railroads, are dropped 
at the Grand Central Depot, East 42d Street and Fourth 
Avenue. All railroad passengers from Boston and the 
East are landed at Grand Central Depot. The Pennsyl-

Is four pieces of hard rubber : (i) the Cap which covers 
and protects thepen^in the pocket; (2) the Handle.which 
holds the ink; (3) the Point-section, which takes the 
pen ; and (4) the Feed-bar, which holds the pen in its 
place and carries the ink from the reservoir to the pen, 
using the same principle (capillary attraction), by a 
similar construction (a split of fissures), that the pen 
uses in conducting the ink to the paper, and is equally 
as certain. 

The act of writing regulates the flow of ink, which 
is as free as from a dip pen, and more uniform. 

It takes the ordinary gold or steel pens. 

Your favorite pen can be used, and the character of 
your handwriting will be preserved. 

It is the simplest, cleanest, readiest and most easily 
managed of all the fountain pens. 

It has no machinery to be regulated. 

When the cap is removed the pen is ready to write ; 
when the writing is done the cap can be replaced and 
it is ready for the pocket. 

It uses any ink, and holds enough to write contin- 
ously from 10 to 25 hours. 

There are several sizes for the pocket and the desk.

With each pen is given a certificate which warrants 
the holder for five years, and guarantees it to give 
satisfaction or the money will be refunded. It also con- 
tains a license under the patent which protects the 
user from all claims for infringements. 

All people are cautioned against buying or using 
similar pens without getting therewith a license under 
the patent.
